The actor talks and walks in very special ways to perfectly portray each character. In the words of Miltos himself, “The only thing about typecasting I will say is that I always play foreign characters. When I say ‘foreign’: alien in Star Wars, a French psychiatrist in a Danish film [in ‘The Danish Girl’], [and] a Dutch baker in [the upcoming drama/romance film] ‘Tulip Fever.’”
BRITISH WITH CYPRIOT ORIGIN
Looking at his name, you might find the fact strange that Miltos Yerolemou is a British actor. Well, yes, it is absolutely true! But he is a special type of British actor with a Cypriot origin.
